It’s great to have some reliable frozen foods around when I’m not up to making a full meal for lunch or dinner. One of my favorite brands for meat-free frozen foods is Gardein. I recently tried out their Ultimate Beefless Burger and WOW. It’s probably my favorite frozen veggie burger I’ve tried so far. First [...]

I had some frozen mushroom tortellinis to use up last week and needed a quick sauce to toss them with. Pesto (minus the cheese) is an easy fall back sauce for me, but I had an idea to use hemp seeds in place of nuts for a change. If you’ve never tried hemp seeds, you [...]

Last night I made salads for dinner. Big homemade salads are my favorite go-to meal, and with highs in the 60s yesterday, NYC was finally starting to feel like Spring. I took a walk after going to the gym, got a pedicure, and then cruised over to a health food store to get some organic [...]

Frozen veggies are a great choice when you’re trying to shop healthy while saving time and money. You can buy frozen produce in bulk, save a few dollars, and pull them out of the freezer whenever you get around to it. For example, I had an extra bag of frozen organic corn leftover from the [...]

Crab cakes are one of those things that I love, but they have to be done well. A bad crab cake is such a shame! I want it to be fresh with lots of real crab meat, plenty of fresh herbs and spices, and chopped vegetables. To help keep the patties together, I used avocado, [...]

It’s the final day of my blogathon, and I’m sharing a healthy slow cooker recipe for a lazy Sunday. I’m a newbie to the crockpot, but it was really easy. I just chopped up everything this morning, put the beans on the bottom, layered the veggies on top, then covered them with the liquids and [...]

Did you think I’d get through a whole winter week without featuring a curry recipe? I think not! Day 5 is here already, and today’s recipe is for the curry lovers out there. You can serve this one with roasted sweet potatoes, brown rice, or a slice of whole grain bread. There’s lots of sauce, [...]
